November 2024 Snippets & Snapshots by Zimbali Resort Developments

Snippets & Snapshots NOVEMBER 2024

a few words from ZLRMA ESTATE MANAGER

Dear Member

We hope you enjoyed the first edition of last month’s “Snippets & Snapshots.” We aim to keep you in the loop by making each future edition as informative and up-to-date as possible.

In today’s fast-paced world, we will try to ensure that you are always up to speed.

In October’s Snippets & Snapshots, we celebrated the successful launch of Tatali Signature Villas and introduced the Short-Term Letting policy and procedures for newcomers to the estate.

November’s edition is packed with exciting updates. We explain in detail why Building Control and Design Review Committees play such important roles on residential estates and introduce you to Zimbali Lakes’ Building Control Officer - Kathija Ismail and to the estate’s new Design Review Committee Panel.

Staying with all things construction, the My Estate Life Resident’s App is a valuable resource when searching for Zimbali Lakes approved service providers’ contact details.

The App is also an easy reference tool when you’re looking for up to the minute construction photos, information about the Short Term Letting Policy and the list of accredited Resale & Letting Agents.

Lastly, we have a Q&A page addressing many of the common queries we receive.

We’ve had some impressive storms recently, and I’m happy to say the estate has held up very well. Over the past few years, the Master Developer has done everything possible to meet all storm water and environmental regulations, and the excellent results are clear proof of this. A solid foundation is always key.

Enjoy the read and feel free to get in touch if you need anything.

Regards,

Jacques Mizen

KATHIJA IN ACTION

design review committee (DRC)

INTRODUCTION

Whether you’re a multi-unit developer or planning your home, the Design Review Committee plays a vital role in the build process from beginning to end.

The committee comprises highly regarded and experienced architectural and building industry professionals who, together with us, ensure that your design is meticulously crafted and compliant with the Zimbali Lakes Resort vision and brand language.

So, how does one begin this exciting development journey? It’s easy and interactive! To submit your concept to the team, you need to hire a Professional Architect registered with SACAP. This guarantees the highest standards of design and construction quality.

Following the Architectural Design Code, your architect will create a set of drawings, including plans, elevations, and realistic 3D views. Meetings are held monthly, and a week before your scheduled meeting, your architect will send you the submission pack to prepare.

The meeting will take place at our offices with you and your architect, where your concept will be presented. The DRC will provide useful feedback to get your design ready for the technical submission stage.

This stage, called the Orientation & Presentation Stage, is the most important and enjoyable part of the process. Here, your vision is brought to life with realistic images and videos.

We often discuss the Zimbali Lakes Resort ethos, exploring lines, textures, colours, and landscaping.

Zimbali Lakes Resort’s architectural style is simple and harmonious, blending luxury with our beautiful, lush coastline. A professional team of architects, engineers and landscape designers is needed to accurately bring your vision to life.

We look forward to walking this journey with you and have many more guidelines to share.

Q & A SECTION

Q: What is a Homeowner’s Association?

A: Whenever a planned community is first created, the Master Developer establishes a non-profit Homeowners Association (HOA). Thereafter, Homeowners elect a Board of Trustees at Annual General Meetings to manage the organization.

The prime objective is to enhance the sales and marketability of homes in the area. Board Members are responsible for creating governing documents, such as Constitutions and Rules of Conduct, which serve as the regulations for Association Members.

Q: Why is a HOA important?

A: A Homeowners Association (HOA) is essential for maintaining the smooth operation of your community. The HOA oversees various aspects, ensuring that the Estate has the highest standard of security, maintaining common areas and managing a budget that is sufficient for all necessary expenses associated with enhancing your investment.

Q: When is my levy due and what does my levy cover?

A: Levies are due and payable in advance by the first of each month. These funds cover all the estate’s operating expenses such as security, landscaping, insurance, maintenance and general administration.

Q: How many pets are allowed per home?

A: Each dwelling is allowed a maximum of two pets, either two dogs, two cats or one of each. All pets must comply with the pet policy and be registered with the HOA before they are allowed onto the estate.

Q: Can I hire Contractors to carry out any home maintenance requirements?

A: Private contractors are allowed on the estate, provided that the Homeowner first completes a Minor Works Form and submits it to the HOA before any maintenance begins. The contractor’s entry to the estate will unfortunately be denied if this procedure has not been successfully completed. This process ensures that everyone on the estate is accounted for and that estate security is not compromised.

Q: How do my guests get access into the Estate?

A: Homeowners can send access codes directly to their guests using their My Estate Life App. It is available on all major App stores. However, if your unit is in the Boulevard Precinct or Ocean Club and you engage in short-term letting, you will only have viewing rights and not the ability to issue codes as, for security reasons, this is managed by the HOA’s Short-Term Letting Department.

Please note that all issued access codes are audited daily for record-keeping and safety purposes.

Q: Are rentals permitted?

A: Short-Term rentals are allowed at the Boulevard and Ocean Club developments located outside the main estate. Long-term rentals are allowed at The Ridge located inside the main estate.

Q: What is a Constitution?

A: The Constitution embodies the ethos of the estate, ensuring that the Association is able to undertake the conservancy and other assigned functions and obligations. It aims to protect and advance the interests of property owners on the estate, maintain essential services, amenities and activities, regulate the environment, and oversee development. The focus is on safeguarding the aesthetic standards that preserve the overall allure of the estate.

Q:

Why are there Conduct Rules?

A: Each Association has its own Rules of Conduct, overseen by the ZLRMA Constitution. This ensures the estate’s safety and security, maintains high standards and prioritises Members’ best interests and good neighbourliness. Disorder would prevail in the absence of rules.

Q: Who do I call if I have an emergency?

A: The estate is secured 24/7 with physical guards and a perimeter fence monitored by thermal CCTV cameras. Our Control Room, located next to the Main Entrance of the main estate, oversees all surveillance.

On site Security Control Room emergency contact number –076 018 1714

For any day-to-day enquiries, you can contact the HOA office.
